How long is the drive from Dali to Chengdu?
The direct drive from Dali to Chengdu is 567 mi (912 km), and should have a drive time of 10 hrs 25 mins in normal traffic.
If you’re going on a road trip from Dali to Chengdu, we did the research for you and compiled some great stops along the way — with top places to visit like Dali Xizhou Town Jakedi Inn and Butterfly Spring, or the ever-popular Erhai.
The top stops along the way from Dali to Chengdu (with short detours) are Qingcheng Shan, Emei Mountain, and Erhai. Other popular stops include 木府别院, Huanglongxi Ancient Town Tourism Area (Northeast Gate), and 中国保护大熊猫研究中心.
Erhai, also known as Erhai Lake, is a stunning and massive body of water in Dali, China. The area boasts a mild climate that feels like spring all year round, creating a serene and picturesque setting for visitors. The lakeshore offers plenty of opportunities for exploration, with highlights such as Erhai Park and Butterfly Springs on the western bank.
It’s a lake, but it looks like a sea because of its largeness. Apart from the beauty, Erhai lake is also diverse in plants. There’re lots of tourists attractions around Erhai Lake: Little Putuo, Shengtuolini,… Travelling around Erhai Lake is a good experience owing to its tranquility.

Pretty lake with a continuous cycling trail around. Quite a romantic experience overall if you overlook the rampant presence of touters selling hair braids, baloons, bike rentals and photography hire.
The trail is serene once you pass the retail strip. The trail is well made with craft precision especially on the curve bends. Nature is displayed quite spectacularly with the variety of marshlands, grasslands, wetlands and interactive paved areas.
I'd say avoid all hotel acomodations here as they are quite inflated in price and haphazardly put together.

The lakeshore can be explored by hiking. Highlights include Erhai Park and the Butterfly Springs on the Western bank. Islands on the lake – including Guanyin Ge, Jinsuo Island (金梭岛; 'Golden Shuttle Island'), Nanzhao Folklore Island (南诏风情岛) and Xiaoputuo Island (小普陀) – are also available for visits.
The lake is an important food source for the local people (Bais), who are famous for their fishing method: their trained cormorants catch fish and return them to fishmongers. The birds are prevented from swallowing their fish by rings fixed around their neck.

Interesting place to explore. It takes one day to round the lake with a car. You can stop on the road and enjoy the view. Check point: 喜州古鎮Hex·jix、雙廊古鎮Cualnud、理想幫Da Li santorini. If you are in a hurry trip, you may choose 雙廊. Very important: sun burn protection!!! Water for rehydration!!!

Erhai lake is a massive lake that the locals call sea. It is beautiful with many spots to take pictures, feed seagulls. I suggest to at least spend a day, using a vehicle to visit the sites around the lake. I personally rented an electric scooter from old town, and circled the lake using 2 days. It was a beautiful ride. I did it during Dec, which is quite cold. I believe it will be better by car.

I & my brother enjoyed here. It is a big & very beautiful lake. Lots of people comes to enjoy the beauty of this lake. I saw many children were flying kites.There is one big Olympic Stadium near the erhai lake. am Happy to explore this lake. wanna go again there.

We took and overnight sleeper train to Dali to spend a couple of days there. Photos of the train accommodation are in another album.
This is a very beautiful and peaceful place. The main lake is called Lover Lake.
The don't know where the water comes from and the main pool is very deep. It has never gone dry.
There was a dance show on in the afternoon.
Whilst I didn't eat at the facility I did eat at a local restaurant near the facility and did get food poisoning. None of my friends got it so it must have been a bug that my system was not used to.

The Butterfly Spring Scenic Area or 蝴蝶泉 (Hu Die Quan) is a beautiful scenic attraction and tourist hotspot along the edge of the Erhai Lake near Dali. In the height of summer it is a haven for many species of butterfly, but even out of season visitors can see many colourful examples in the greenhouses. The entrance fee is around 60 RMB

Lijiang is a Chinese city situated in the northwestern region of Yunnan province, with a diverse population that includes Naxi and other ethnic minority groups. Once a hub for commerce during the 14th century, Lijiang's old town features charming cobblestone streets, canals, and Central Market Square that houses various shops and restaurants.
The 万古楼 is a renowned tourist attraction characterized by its five-story wooden pavilion constructed in traditional Chinese style back in the year 1997. The landmark provides breathtaking views of the city and stands out as an iconic representation of China's cultural heritage. Its design and architecture feature intricate details that reflect the country's rich history, making it a must-see destination for tourists looking to experience Chinese culture firsthand.
It's great to visit in the late afternoon. The temple is lovely, and the panoramic views are worth the climb and admission.

(Translated by Google) The top of Luoji Mountain is about 3,700 meters above sea level. There are more than 10 large and small lakes dotted on the top of the mountain, which should be beautiful in autumn. However, it has been relatively dry in recent years and a large number of lakes have dried up, which is a pity.

The Leshan Jinkou Grand Canyon Scenic Area Administration Committee, responsible for the management and supervision of the scenic area, oversees various aspects of its operations. This organization is in charge of ensuring smooth functioning and maintaining the overall wellbeing of the canyon. Their responsibilities include overseeing visitor services, implementing safety measures, managing environmental protection efforts, and monitoring infrastructure development within the area. The committee plays a crucial role in preserving the natural beauty and promoting sustainable tourism in this stunning location.
Emei Mountain, located in Sichuan Province, China, is a stunning summit with an altitude of 3099m and is considered one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains. An ideal way to experience its beauty is to embark on a night hike and reach the top before sunrise. Witnessing the sun above the clouds from there is truly magical, provided that the sky remains clear. For those who are not fond of hiking, there's a cable car available to access the hotel at the peak.
It’s really a breathtaking view
Lam Khiet Minh (Ming) — Google review
2023 December. Once in a lifetime must go place. Not suitable for some as it is quite steep at the last stretch although there are handheld carriages which bring you up with a cost.
One day trip. Bring Passport for foreigners.
Take the earliest high speed train from Chengdu to Emeishan station 620am+-, economy ticket CNY70+-, 1hr 20min+- duration.
Reached the station, go to the official counter and buy entrance ticket, to and fro bus and cable car tickets, approximately CNY400+-.
1st sector, approximately 2hr bus ride, half way through toilet break.
2nd sector, walk approximately 40mins.
3rd sector, cable car approximately 5mins and stroll 10 min to the peak.
Lastly enjoy the scenery.

Holy place
I visited here in Feb 2013. There still remained snow. Before climbing, I put non-slipper-item on my shoes. That was a little tough walking. But when I arrived at the top there, my body was totally refreshed by the big buddha. That was one of my unforgettable memories in my life. Thank, God. Hope so many people visit here and experience their own emancipation.

How does this place get 4.6 stars rating ?
Personally, I don’t think this place is worth the time and money.
1) We visited Mount Emei for its thousand years old history. But the four faces golden Buddha at the top was built in 2006. And most temples, statues and structures at the top are all relatively new. We may have missed something but we didn’t see anything that resembles thousands years old.
2) A temple is not supposed to collect entrance fee. This place does. 160 yuan per adult ticket. Plus you have to pay for bus tickets and most likely pay for the optional packed 100 persons per cable car 🚠 which are not cheap. They pack 100 persons into one cable car and people would un-politely race and push for good spots in the packed cable car. And the view going up is not as impressive Tianmen Mountain
3) it collects high entrance fee but doesn’t maintain the bathrooms clean and the path clean. You will enter dirty bathrooms and see many trashes along the climb
4) while many tour guides don’t use loud speakers here but many shops do. The speakers noise are annoying. Isn’t mountain temple and its paths are supposed to be peaceful and quiet?
5) along the way, vendors all sell similar products. These stalls are most likely owned by the same companies. There is no uniqueness to the shops
6) Visiting Mount Emei feel like visiting a tourist attraction instead a holy ancient temples. It is too commercialized for profit.
I do not think this place is worth the money if not the time also. I doubt how many are remained from the thousand years old temple. The name Emei temple are used to attract tourist to the modern built temples and statues.
Would not recommend this place for the price and time one needs to spend to get up there. Not worth the money and effort.

Emei Moutain is very nice place to visit, you can see the snow in the winter time and lots of funny monkeys, but you need be carefull about them :)
Alex — Google review
I grew up in a small town not far from Mt. Emei. It is a mountain that my family visited every a couple of years. I have climbed it from bottom to top at least 6 times in different seasons and every time I enjoyed it very much. It is a combination of nature and culture (Buddhism).
Recommended to people who come to visit Sichuan/Chengdu. It is a top destination!
Summer is the high-season for local people to enjoy the coolness (expensive and crowded). Way less people in the winter and you will see the mountain all covered with snow since the waist of it, marvelous view as well. However, should be careful and suggest to wear a pair of shoes which is suitable for walking on ice.
TIPS: Some tempels actually host people for a small amount of fee. The most beautiful temple is Wannian Temple. It was built about 1, 500 years ago. I have stayed there twice and it was about 20-40rmb per person per night in a twin room (very basic room and only public toilet outside, no shower available?). But it was an amazingly unique experience!!

One of the most beautiful summits I've been to, Mount Emei [ swipe left for the vid ] and its Golden Summit ,
It's a mountain in Sichuan Province, China, and is one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China with an elevation of 3099m. The best way to experience it is with a night hike arriving at the top before sunrise as the view of a sun above the clouds is just magical [ but u will have to pray for a clear sky top🙏 ] there is a hotel at the top that u can access with cable car for people who aren't into hiking. On the way back from Mount Emei, u should stop at Leshan for a visit to Leshan big buddha [ 3rd pic ], a 71m statue that took 90 years to crave. Both sites are within a drive from Chengdu

Vita Kagurazaka — Google review
Not cheap to go up here, 90 rmb for shuttle bus 2 ways, 160 rmb for ticket to go to the peak, 120 rmb for cable car 2 ways. Its very cold and iced this time,but if you dont have warm clothes you can hire coat here with 30 rmb only, very convenient and dont need to carry much thing. Scenery is beautiful though toilet is stink and not clean.
The Wannian Temple, a place of worship located on the slopes adorned with maple and gingko trees, has been reconstructed by various dynasties over centuries. This Buddhist complex is a magnificent sight to behold, hidden away in the mountains with its serene pond where frogs can be heard croaking. The air around the temple is filled with incense which adds to its spiritual atmosphere. It's truly a beautiful place that exudes tranquility and reverence for those seeking spiritual solace.
Beautiful place.

Baoguo Temple is a religious establishment situated at the base of a sacred mountain that dates back to the 16th century. The temple provides accommodation managed by a local individual named Patrick, who can assist non-Chinese speakers with their needs. Although rooms are humble and slightly humid, they are kept clean, and guests have access to shared bathing facilities used by monks. However, air conditioning isn't available - only fans.
I haven't been, but would love to go to China. It's older Than Japan, and is steeped in the most history.
David McKay II — Google review
It's quite a beautiful and historic temple, one of many in the Emeishan area. It's one of the most popular temples, so be prepared to be with a lot of people. The temple loses some of it's sacredness with the expensive gift store and many tours going around that it gets crowded and noisy. However, you can still appreciate the ancestral care that has preserved this place of worship for centuries.

(Translated by Google) There are two options for visiting Bifeng Gorge, you can go to the zoo, or the Panda Base and Bifeng Gorge Scenic Area. This comment is the latter.
The cat is cute, but the canyon is even more charming.
In terms of scale, content, ticket price and transportation convenience, it is not as good as the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. If you are in Chengdu and simply want to watch pandas, Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding would be a better choice. Panda lunch time at Bifengxia Panda Base is at 11 o'clock. The panda takes a nap after lunch. At noon, tourists can only admire the sleeping posture of the panda.
Bifeng Gorge is a V-shaped canyon with two canyons. Qingcheng Mountain is known as the most peaceful place in the world, and it seems that Bifeng Gorge is even more peaceful. This is a great place to enjoy the waterfall. There are more than a dozen large and small waterfalls, some are weak, some are light, some are ethereal, some are majestic. Bailongtan Waterfall is the most spectacular. A plank road is built along the waterfall, and visitors can view the majestic beauty of Bailongtan Waterfall from different positions above, middle and below.
I first visited the panda base that day, and then started from the scenic area next to the base. It is a left canyon, about 7.5 kilometers long, with beautiful waterfalls and beautiful mountains and rivers. There is a hanging coffin attraction on the cliff, which is the ancestor of the Qiang people in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Follow the trail to Qingyun Tower, which is the boundary between the left and right gorges. Here, visitors can take the Qingyun Tower elevator down the mountain, and continue walking to see the canyon on the right, with a total length of 2.5 kilometers. There are also great waterfall views along the way. You can also go to Bifeng Temple Mountain Gate Sightseeing Station and get off the bus or go back to the Panda Base. Travel quickly that day and it will take about 2.5 hours from the entrance of the Panda Base Scenic Area to Bisi Mountain Gate. Those who take a leisurely walk can spend half a day.
Transportation: Take Chengdu Xinnanmen Passenger Transport to Ya'an Bifeng Gorge, which takes about 2 hours by car. The final stop is Ya'an Tourist Bus Station (Ya'an No. 8 Road Terminal) and then transfer to the minibus to Bifeng Gorge Scenic Area. Went there on the day after the Dragon Boat Festival holiday in 2019. The section from Ya'an to the scenic spot is due to road construction and traffic jams, and the journey takes about 1 hour.

到碧峰峽遊玩,有兩個選擇,可以到動物園,或熊貓基地和碧峰峽景區。這則評論屬後者。
態貓固然可愛,峽谷更是迷人。
論規模、内容,票價及交通便利,都不及成都大熊貓繁育研究基地。若身在成都,單純要觀看熊貓,成都大熊貓繁育研究基地會是更好的選擇。碧峰峽熊貓基地熊貓午餐時間在11點。熊貓午餐後便午睡。中午的时間,旅客只能欣賞熊貓的睡姿。
碧峰峽是兩道峽谷,呈V字形。青城山譽為天下幽,似乎碧峰峽更是清幽。這裏是欣賞瀑布上佳地方。十幾處大大小小瀑布,或婉弱,或輕巧,或靈空,或雄奇。以白龍潭瀑布最壯觀。沿瀑布旁建棧道,遊人可從上中下不同位置觀賞白龍潭瀑布的雄姿。
我當日先參觀熊貓基地,再從基地旁風景區出發,那屬左峽谷,長約7.5公里,瀑布山水幽秀,其中有懸棺景點,乃東漢羌族先民,峭壁懸棺。沿步道至青雲樓,為左右峽分界處。於此遊人可坐青雲樓電梯下山,更繼續前行,遊覧右以峽谷,全長的2.5公里。沿途瀑布景亦佳。至碧峰寺山門觀光車站,乘車下車或回熊貓基地亦可。當日速行,约2.5小時熊貓基地風景區入口至碧寺山門。悠步者,可消磨半天。
交通:成都新南門客運乘車到雅安碧峰峽,约2小時車程。終點站是雅安市旅遊汽車站(雅安8路總站)再轉乘小巴至碧峰峽景區。2019年端午節翌日假期前往。雅安至景區段,修路兼堵車,車程约1小時。
The China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda is an educational facility that provides opportunities to view pandas while also offering a volunteer keeper program. In addition, it serves as a retirement home for pandas loaned to other countries who do not understand Chinese. This center differs from the one in Chengdu and is not frequented by many tourists. Hong Kong's Ocean Park housed two giant pandas in 2007 named Yingying and Lele during its tenth week of return.
Pandas! They have a breeding center here where you can sit beside a baby panda and pet it! Also a lot of the loaned put pandas to other countries retire here (which only understand french, japanese, English etc. Instead of Chinese).
This place is very out of the way compared to the panda center in the middle of Chengdu, so basically there are no tourists at all.

It's a bit tough for foreigner if you don't speak Mandarin. Better rent a van privately from Chengdu or self-drive.

(Translated by Google) Located in the northern part of Yucheng District, Ya'an City, it preserves many ancient bridges and other symbolic buildings, and brings together historical landscapes such as Ming and Qing architecture, Tang and Song cultural relics, etc. The simple and traditional style makes this place very unique, making it a perfect place for painting and taking photos. Good place.

位於雅安市雨城區北部,保存多座古橋等象徵性建築物,彙集了明清建築、唐宋文物遺迹等歷史景觀,淳樸傳統的風情將這裡妝點的很具特色,是作畫與拍照的好地方。
Pingle Ancient Town, situated 110km from the city center, is a charming small town that has been well preserved with buildings dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Among its attractions are stilt houses along the river and tea rooms where visitors can enjoy a slow-paced lifestyle. The town also features water and bamboo forests which are charged attractions.
Cosy well preserved little old town . Pace of life is slow .

(Translated by Google) It is about 110km from the city center, which is quite far. There is water and bamboo forest (charged attraction) and you can drink tea by the river, which is more or less the same.

(Translated by Google) If I were to describe this place, I think Taiwan Old Street is very suitable.
This is a very rural place, and you can see the lazy style of old Chengdu people. They doze off while visiting the shop, play mahjong, drink tea and chat, and play by the river everywhere.
This is a relay station to other scenic spots. Speaking of ancient towns, I did not experience the feeling of entering the late Qing Dynasty. I think my preconceived ideas led to disappointment.
(Original)
若要我形容此處,我想台灣老街非常合適。
這裡是一處非常非常鄉下的地方,能夠看到老成都人的慵懶風格,顧店時打瞌睡、隨處都再打麻將、喝茶聊天、河邊戲水。
此處算是一個去其他風景區的中繼站,說他古鎮,我並沒有體會到進入晚清時代的感覺,我認為我的先入為主的想法導致了失望。

(Translated by Google) A relaxing place to relax. Never mind its attractions. Walk around, eat, buy local products, drink tea, and spend time lazily. There are many tea houses along the river, and the river view is also good. If you can taste good tea, it will be perfect.
Transportation: There are shuttle buses from Xinnanmen in Chengdu to Pingle Ancient Town. Very convenient, the drive takes about 2 hours. The latest bus from Pingle back to Xinnanmen is 17:30. In addition, Qionglai Passenger Transport has minibuses to and from Pingle Ancient Town, which takes half an hour.

輕鬆消閑的去處。不要計較它的景點。走走,吃吃,買土產,喝喝茶,懶懶的消磨時光。沿江有不少茶社,江景亦佳, 如果能嚐到上佳茶,那就完美。
交通:成都新南門有直到平樂古鎮往返車。很方便,車程約2小時。從平樂回新南門最晚一班車是17:30。另邛崍客運客有來往平樂古鎮小巴,車程半小時。

Good place to learn the history of Sichuan via a few museums located within the compound. 猪坚强 Zhu Jianqiang, a pig which survived 36 days under rubbles during the 5.12 earthquake can be found here. He weights 200pounds now...

A very big museum. Those things on display inside are very meaningful. Though it's a little boring inside.

Over twenty theme museums are in there. The flying tiger museum there is very cool. It presents the air force assistance that U.S. provided to China in world war 2.

Huanglongxi Ancient Town Tourism Area, located in Chengdu, China, is a charming destination for a day trip. This historical town boasts cobblestone streets lined with stilted buildings from the Ming and Qing eras, as well as ancient temples and a water mill. To reach Huanglongxi Ancient Town from Chengdu, travelers can purchase bus tickets at Chadianzi Bus Station for approximately 15 to 16 RMB and head to platforms 32 or 36.
Beautiful tourist spot with reasonable price, nice temperature (14-18°C in early April).
But, do use translators if you don't speak mandarin, because nobody there speaks other language except mandarin and the local language.
謝國峰 — Google review
Unfortunately a manufactured tourist trap. Honestly best to be avoided. I have no doubt it could be a historical site, but the buildings etc are not historical but cladded to look like it. The shops are all commercial and irrelevant, snow city, haunted houses, KFC, Starbucks?! It's crazy.

Beautiful town. Visited in 2017. The history is awesome, the noodles great and the stores are cool. It's crowded but worth the visit!
Tom Fowler — Google review
This is actually a man-made ancient town. It has all the distinct features of an old town, with many local food and snacks stores. If you happen to pass near by, worth the visit to soend a couple hours to walk around, but, be ready to do it with lots of other people, crowded. Weekend visits nit recommended!
Tammy Liu — Google review
Said to be one of 10 oldest towns in China. Completely "touristified". Only the houses are authentic, if one disregard the ground floors which have all turned into shops, selling various products and food. The spirit of the town is completely gone. This is now a mass tourist attraction. It is nicely laid out though with small waterways and bridges and stepstones. Visited on a weekend and quite a crowd. Presume it is a nice afternoon getaway from Chengdu. Older ladies try to sell head flower wreaths, so one sees many visiting ladies wearing same. Lots of stalls sell refreshing made-on-the-spot pomegrate juice

Good for photo taking. Perhaps due to winter, the place doesn't seem popular, even with the locals other than those doing Douyin.

Exciting place. Sights sounds smell taste. Nicely refurbished and very lively especially over the may 1st holiday. Even more meaningful if you understand Chinese.
Qingcheng Shan is a renowned Taoist mountain in China, known for its historical significance and beautiful temples. The mountain offers well-marked trails for hiking, with lush surroundings and numerous peaks. Visitors can explore the area's rich Taoist history and discover various temples dispersed along the trails. While it's a popular tourist spot with some crowds, the experience is deemed worthwhile by many due to its cultural and natural allure.
Pretty good for hiking, well marked trails. Qingcheng Shan is one of the birthplaces of daoism, a lot of temples were in some well known TV shows. Definitely a fun experience to visit.

This place is dirty, poorly maintained, visually underwhelming, and way overpriced. You pay for entry fee, then you can pay more money for shortcuts through inconvenient patches. The food quality is inversely correlated with altitude while price is directly correlated.
The routes are not safe due to uneven steps, some of which are loose.
The temples are all filled with tourist shops and food, so it’s not exactly an immersive experience.

Qingcheng shan is one of the most famous Taoist mountains in China.Beside this mountain there is a University ,i have completed my undergraduate there that's why there is lot of memories...never forgettable from my life.The mountain which is surrounded by numerous peaks and Beautiful temple.
Abdur Rahim — Google review
Not for the faint of heart! It is very humid and very steep. It is a beautiful mountain and cool temples disbursed through the trails. We are relatively in shape and young-ish, and this was a difficult hike. Even after you take the cable car to the top of the mountain, there is still significant walking. Lots of signs about the high oxygen content, since the area is so lush. Very beautiful area. I wish there were more signs about the temples.
Katherine Dale — Google review
Was there today ,June 11/2019. Staying at local hotel with wife and friends.taxi was 10 rmb.to mountain..
Walked up the less crowded trail.went back down cable car .entrance fee was 80 RMB.cable car was 35..this is a tourist spot but to me well worth it as it's Taoist history.
Just don't expect quiet.
As every where in China .all kinds of small shops at every temple .many signs in English with a brief information on the dieties was a pleasant surprise.was a work out of a walk up..stop often and rest.resume.(about 3? hours to go up)

Chengdu Panda Breeding Research Center Dujiangyan Breeding Yefang Research Center
The Dujiangyan Breeding Yefang Research Center is a wildlife facility in China dedicated to the preservation of pandas. It offers visitors an unparalleled opportunity to view and feed these magnificent animals, as well as learn about panda research and conservation efforts. The center houses both giant pandas and red pandas, and even allows visitors to hold a panda cub. This is truly a must-visit destination for anyone interested in experiencing the beauty of these creatures up close.
Overall, Panda Valley is an incredibly easy park to visit. The visiting route is a clear straight line and you just U-turn at the end. The enclosures are very dense so you don't need to walk much in between each. The pandas are also incredibly near you, you can almost touch them. At the Panda Research Base in Chengdu, you almost always have to zoom 5X, here, at most 2X.
As usual, go early so they are active and eating.

If you are a panda lover this is a heaven. The only place in the world where you can hold a panda cub. This is a research centre and a panda reserve.
